    The alpine route up to the Wurzbergalm is neither difficult nor steep and therefore well suited for children, especially as a sled ride shortens the return elegantly. From the Längenfeld district of Winklen (parking at the forest edge), a wide forest road extends in long switchbacks up to the Wurzbergalm (1,575m). Through the bright, sunny forest area of the Köfler mountain slip, one of the largest in the Alps, you quickly gain height until the trees unexpectedly give way to a clearing at just under 1,600m. Now it’s only a few steps to the alm with its sun terrace. Lucky is the one who has a sled and can now race down to the valley on a prepared sledding run. Those who don’t have one can simply borrow one from the Holzknecht host family. Of course, not without having taken a proper break beforehand – best with Ramona’s apple strudel, blueberry punch, or a glass of fresh milk from the farm in the valley.
